DSI visitor security registration (synagogues and Jewish institutions)
Checked · official siteWe checked the details on the place’s own or an official website.
Panama's Jewish community security department (DSI) admits visitors to synagogues and community institutions only with a pre-approved registration. Register and pay at least 72 hours before arrival, then bring the e-mailed QR code and your passport to a security interview at a synagogue.
Good to know
Do this before you fly, especially for Yeshiva Week. The form asks for your home synagogue and rabbi and lets you upload proof of membership or Jewish-school enrolment, so have those ready.
